Several weeks into the new TV season and whilst old favourites like "CSI", "Lost", "Desperate Housewives", etc. are doing good, no-one is really warming to the new shows. Some are doing pretty well but there's no breakout hits as such and already the lines are being drawn. Some have been cancelled, others are being picked up for full season orders, most remain undecided.

My personal new show favourite - serial action thriller "Prison Break", along with the likes of Jason Lee comedy "My Name is Earl", Chris Rock comedy "Everybody Hates Chris", and spooky teen drama "Supernatural" have all been granted full first season orders.

Undecided as yet but rumoured as likely to get picked up are Geena Davis drama "Commander in Chief", Jennifer Love Hewitt heart warmer "Ghost Whisperer", David Boreanaz forensic drama "Bones", and Neil Patrick Harris/Alyson Hannigan sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" - all of which are doing well.

Looking likely to get the axe are dramas "Killer Instinct" and "Three Wishes" along with reality bomb "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart". Sci-fi serials "Surface" and "Invasion" are falling but haven't reached bad enough levels to get marching orders it seems, though "Threshold" is apparently holding its own in its timeslot. Mandy Patinkin led forensic drama "Criminal Minds" started extremely well but has plummeted in subsequent episodes. "E-Ring" started terribly but a timeslot change has yielded improvements.

Most shows are still on the fence pending several weeks worth of numbers, although Don Johnson legal drama "Just Legal", Chris O'Donnell legal drama "Head Cases", Denise Richards led "Sex, Love & Secrets", and medical drama "Inconceivable" have been cancelled.
